This thing was all the rage when Nissan took the wraps off it, When there were teaser shots and camo GTRs, Lighter more hp, better for the track....Then it got a 5hp increase....60lbs less weight....and double the price tag of a base GTR, EVen eclipsing the Nismo price of todays GTR.

And only 3 laptimes?...Are you kidding me?..Man i was looking forward to this car with all the hype to, As a fan of Nissans (GT-R) series of cars, And proud owner of one for 12 years, I can say i was dissapointed badly.

Sorry, but if you search "GTR vs Corvette" on this site, you will see that out of 19 tracks the Corvette is faster on 14 of them. Thus, it is crystal clear who is faster on the straights AND the corners. Numbers don't lie.

It has not run a 7:25 so people need to stop spreading internet rumors. The facts are what they are and crying about it doesn\'t help. I have never bought tht time on the Ring by the GTR and neither has most people. It has never been duplicated by anyone and the ZR1 beats the GTR on most other tracks around the world by several seconds, but on the longest track when it clearly is faster everywhere, it is that close? Makes no logical sense at all.

The Spec-V has unofficially lapped the ring @ 7:25 and at 7:20.
It\'s certainly a faster car than the ZR1, but slower than the GT2RS, Gumpert Apollo Speed, and probably slower than the 599 GTO as well. The other thing is that it would actually sell for less than the ZR1 in the US if it were sold in the US.
Here\'s what Kelley Bluebook says are the REAL(not MSRP) prices the average consumer is paying for these cars.

911 Turbo $133,750,

ZR1 $152,782,

GTR $85,880,

Viper SRT-10 $96,681

Even the Spec-V would sell for less than the ZR1 if it were ever sold in the US becuase even a 370Z Nismo costs tons less in the US than in Japan.

It is probably the most impresive time ever(Maybe) but figure the base GT-R does an 11.5 at 125mph, .5s off isnt that hard to believe, great traction, great tyres, fast dual clutch, but 170k is definetly PUSHING it! Japanese Supercars sure are expensive though.

i love this car, and for that ongoing war against the zr1, i would rather have this gt-r. no offence, and i do think the zr1 is an excellent piece of car (but very very sideways) but even i struggle with the idea of 11.0 quarter mile. the power to weight is still very poor. yes, the gt-r has a smart awd system, and transmission. but 11.0 is very quick. where is the source for that time btw?

if you ask me the car is hype. If the car is so fast how come there are no laptimes for it. I think the base GTr is faster and it is cheaper. Nissan is just to embarssed the there ZR1 beater does not match up to people expectations
